Typing Hero is a text expander for Android. A user saves a snippet, types a short keyword, and the app inserts the full message, whether it is 10 or 1,000 characters long. The site frames it as a way to write and send repeated messages to customers in two taps, aimed at businesses and professionals.
It is built and sold by a single developer, Djonny Stevens Abenz, who says he created it after losing hours to retyping text, fixing typos and copying templates. The site claims almost 200K businesses and professionals have used it and that users saved 823K+ hours, based on 9.3B+ keystrokes at 38 words per minute. These are company figures and are not independently verified.
The app watches what you type and detects keywords you have defined. The FAQ says it can read everything typed on the device because that is required for keyword detection, and states that what you write is not sent anywhere. It runs in the background, and the developer reports no battery drain complaints. The documentation includes a battery optimization guide.
A keyword can insert plain text, open a form for extra details, add a future or past date, or insert a contact's name and phone number. Actions pass a finished template to an email app with the recipient and subject filled in by keywords. On paid plans, a keyword can also send the template automatically in supported chat apps.
The core feature is keyword-based snippets, with multiple templates per snippet on paid plans. Forms let you fill in details before a message is completed. Snippets can insert dates, date ranges and contact details. Clipboard history is included on paid plans, and snippets can be exported to CSV on every plan and imported from CSV on paid plans.
Two utilities work from any app. The calculator replaces a math expression with its result or appends the result to it. A WhatsApp shortcut starts a chat with a number found in a text field or on the clipboard. Automatic sending is available in WhatsApp, WhatsApp Business, Telegram, Nekogram, Google's Messages and Discord.
